Fall is right around the corner and we couldn’t be happier! With just a week to go, we are breaking out our Build-a-Wreath: Fall stamp set to create an adorable set of stationery to celebrate the change in seasons. We love the many options packed inside each Build-a-Wreath set to provide a wide variety of wreath style images and scenes perfect for any time of year.

There are a few fab instances when ruffles are necessary, especially when they are of the rouge variety! This warm and spicy color is perfect for Fall crafting. It has a beautiful rich tone that resembles the rustic, deep red in autumn leaves as they turn colors. R-02 | Rouge Ruffles is available in our […]

We are gearing up for a Hampton’s style white party and need cute favors…enter these adorable lobster lollipops and fun favor tags! You know we love a good pun, and couldn’t pass this one up. We also love to mix and match our stamps and dies to create the perfect pairing for all the ideas we dream up in our head – you know during the middle of the night when you can’t sleep because you want to see how cute that project will really turn out. Yup, we’ve all been there haven’t we? Well no need to pull an all nighter assembling these tasty favors because they come together in a pinch!

It’s officially the first day of Fall! We have to admit, we’ve been celebrating Fall for a few weeks now. Let’s just say when Pumpkin Spice Lattes hit the scene, that was our cue to break out the autumn decor and start piping wafts of cinnamon through the office.

We loved this collage stationery project from the recent Pumpkin Spice Latte Issue (which you can view here) so much, that we’re sharing a fun how-to for creating this adorable note card. We grabbed a stack of stamps, a handful of markers, a few CSS Hybrid ink pads, a mix of writing pens and got to work.

The steps are very simple, and you can have fun creating collages for all sorts of favorites using your stash of CSS stamps. What might take the longest is placing each image. We recommend placing your dry stamps onto your card base and move them around until you find a layout that you like to mimic on your card front.

Merry Christmas in any language is part of the sweet sounds of the holidays. We love to turn on our iTunes radio to the Christmas channel and let the music of the season fill the air. If you listen closely you can even hear us singing along as the day goes by – it’s starting to feel a little like Santa’s workshop here as we pack boxes, stock inventory, and create new projects to share.

When creating for the holidays, we are always mindful of designing simple card ideas that are great for mailing and easy to mass produce. The key is to create an interesting focal point and pairing of complimentary colors. Once the design is complete, recruit a few helpers for assembly and your holiday cards are ready to mail.
